| The Sonnet Tempo SATA card does not work with my Western Digital My Book Premium ES Edition, or Seagate Technology FreeAgent Pro. | Mar-02-10 |
| Sonnet Tempo cards are compatible with most external SATA storage. However, external hard drives with USB 2.0/eSATA dual interface based on the Oxford Semiconductor OXU931DS storage controller chip may not be compatible with Mac OS X when connected via SATA. Known issues are kernel panics occurring when the drive is connected, or the drive not being recognized by the operating system.
Summary of eSATA storage
- Storage with eSATA alone.......................................................compatible
- Storage with Triple interfaces.................................................compatible
- Storage with Quad interfaces..................................................compatible
- Storage with eSATA plus Firewire 400 and/or 800..................compatible
- Storage with port multiplier support (multiple drives).............compatible
- Storage with RAID 0, 1, or 5 (multiple drives)..........................compatible
- Storage with eSATA plus USB (based on JMicron 20366)..........compatible
these compatible drives include, but are not limited to:
1) OWC Mercury On-the-Go USB 2.0/eSATA 2.5" portable
- Storage with eSATA plus USB (based on Oxford OXU931DS)....not compatible
these incompatible drives include, but are not limited to:

| I upgraded my Tempo SATA software in a PowerMac G4 or G5 and the card is giving a lot of system errors. | Oct-12-09 |
| This does not happen often, but sometimes the driver caches do not get purged and the new SATA driver does not get loaded correctly from ROM.
Try this:
1) Delete and empty trash for the following file and two directories:
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext (a file)
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches (a directory)
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.romextensions (a directory)
2) Restart |

| I have connected a large hardware RAID volume (for example, a 4TB Fusion D400QR5) to a Sonnet Pro SATA card in a Macintosh, and it is showing up as only 2TB. Why? | Oct-14-09 |

| The performance of my drive array is significantly less than I expect. | Jun-14-11 |
| Another manufacturer's previously-installed SATA driver may be accessing a Sonnet SATA card in error causing a drive access slowdown. For example, we have seen Fusion D400QR5 performance drop from 200MB/s to under 50MB/s in such circumstances. The solution is to remove the other manufacturer's SATA driver. |
